The festival has garnered more media coverage than I recall seeing last year or the one before that, with stories appearing in the Village Voice, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and on WNYC radio.

India & Ireland, film & more

In 2006, after almost 10 years of avid consumption of the latest Bombay releases, I decided to go on ek filmi safar that summer and see how many Hindi movies – the older ones, the newest ones, and repeats of some favorites – I could watch and review over the space of those 90 or so days of summer.

I’ve expanded the reach of this blog to include reference to Ireland’s many cultural contributions to the world, be it film or writing or music. My roots are there, and like most 2nd gen kids, I have a deep affection and curiosity for the ancestral homeland.

Comments, ideas, reminiscences about favorites, were then – and still are – all welcome and encouraged.
